SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 427,735, dated May 13, 1890.

Applic tion file September 30, 1839: Serial No. 325,541. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern:

.Beit known that I, HENRY BRUNHAUS', a citizen of the United States, residing at \Vheeling, in the county of Ohio and State of Vest Virginia, have invented a new and useful Coffee-Urn, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in an apparatus styled a coffee-urn.

The object of my invention is to secure a thoroughly pure and clear coffeediquid, to keep the same of a uniform heat for any length of time, and to extract fully all the qualities of the berry. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure I is a vertical central section through the improved coffee-nrn. Fig. 11 is a fragmentary elevation of the supply-tank. Fig. III is a plan of the smaller strainer removed. Fig. IV is a top plan of the upper strainer removed. Fig. V is a top plan of the intermediate. strainer removed.

The letter Ct indicates the water-holder, inside of which hangs a coffeeholder (marked 1)) 'on a flange, (marked 1,) which is circular and fits loosely 011 the water-holder, leaving a space between the sides of the water-holder and the coffee-holder. This space (marked m) is utilized for the passage of steam, which keeps the coffee uniformly heated. The cover (marked 7t) fits on the coffee-holder, and in shape is a circular are.

On the inside of the coffee-holder hangs a vessel (marked 0) containing an upper strainer (marked 2') and a lower strainer, (marked 6,) between which two hangs a sack or cloth, (marked 71,) which is secured to the strainer, (marked t'.) into which the ground berry is placed. XVithin the bottom of c is a small strainer, (marked f.)

The letter (Z indicates a space in which is deposited the settlings of the coffee passing through the strainer e.

The letter h indicates a piece of hue fiannel, which is attached to the small strainer f by a ring, (marked n represents a section of the water-tank, from which the water is supplied to the Waterholder to by means of a block-tin pipe (marked it) connecting with the water-holder, and attached to which last named is a Water-gage, (marked 3.)

To the side of the water-holder is attached a cock (marked q) for the purpose of drawing the heated water which is used to pour through strainer 1'- over the coffee contained in sack or cloth 7t.

Attached to the coffee-holder (marked 1)) on the bottom of the same is a conduit or pipe, (marked 0,) made of block-tin, extending to the side of the water-holder, to which is affixed a cock (marked 1)) for the purpose of. drawing off the coflfee as needed.

Near the bottom of the water-holder is another cock, (marked "13) by which the settlings of the water are drawn off and the water-holder is emptied.

The letter it indicates a stand on which the combined water-holder and coffee-holder may be placed, and the letter o indicates tlie gas-burner.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. The combination, with the source of heat and the water-holder above the same, of the coffee-holder suspended within the waterholder and having discharge-pipe from its bottom passing through the water-holder, and the vessel 0 within the coffee-holder and provided with a sack, and a strainer 0 below said sack, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the source of heat and the water-holder above the same, of the coftee-holder suspended within the waterholder and having discharge-pipe from its bottom passing through the water-holder, and the vessel 0 within the coffee-holder and provided with a sack and a strainer 6 below said sack, and a smaller strainer f below the strainer c, with settling-chamber (Z between the same, substantially as described.

The combination, with the water-holder and the colit'eeholder suspended within the same, leaving a space between it and the latter, of the vessel C, suspended within the coiteedlolder, the apertured lid to said vessel, the sack carried by said lid, the strainer c beneath said sack, and the smaller strainer f Ico beneath the strainer c, with a settling-chamber d between the two, substantially as de scribed.
